13 Problems Only Extremely Sarcastic People Will Understand

Sarcasm is an art that runs in my family, so I've had the opportunity to perfect it over the years. Sometimes, though, it can be slighty probematic--particularly when no one knows whether or not you're being serious. Nevertheless, I think it's probably the cleverest form of humor, even if the mere mortals who are not fluent in sarcasm tend to be very confused to what us sarcastic people are talking about. If this seems to sound like you, read on to discover 13 problems that you'll only understand if you're too sarcastic for your own good:

1. You're the only one who laughs at your own jokes.

Conversations with my friends are often paused because I'll spend a good five minutes laughing at my own joke while everyone just kind of judges me.

2. People never know whether you like them or hate them.

Someone I considered one of my friends thought I hated them for a whole year because they didn't get sarcasm. (On the other hand, this is super convenient because you can be mean to people you actualy don't like and they'll just think you're being sarcastic :D)

3. Your sense of humor is really self-disparaging.

I'm at the point where I've called myself trash so many times that I'm not 100% sure I wasn't a trash can in a past life.

4. You tend not to like most people.

If they don't understand sarcasm, are they really worth talking to?

5. But once you find someone who gets your sarcasm, you feel #blessed.

Bffles for life.

6. On that note, you probably use #blessed in a sarcastic way way too often:

Ramen for dinner? #Blessed

Saw two dogs today? Actually #blessed

7. You don't know how to flirt.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F04%2F636138915839347317-491878425_pll.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=844&h=b02ed96f00087f2e3c78ae746f596b5da57d5cf030cb3085d2339e094744ea86&size=980x&c=1740437692 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F04%252F636138915839347317-491878425_pll.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D844%26h%3Db02ed96f00087f2e3c78ae746f596b5da57d5cf030cb3085d2339e094744ea86%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1740437692%22%7D" expand=1]

Your version of flirting is kind of just insulting someone, which you see as 'lighthearted' teasing, but it isn't really the most romantic way to woo a potential bae.

8. People never know when you're actually being serious.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F04%2F63613891739971887921133216_sarcasm.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=302&h=4fb2b6ae2aea2d705b74ddf3b5712b2e254192d63a2708e973a44e98f4f18a3b&size=980x&c=2218165165 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F04%252F63613891739971887921133216_sarcasm.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D302%26h%3D4fb2b6ae2aea2d705b74ddf3b5712b2e254192d63a2708e973a44e98f4f18a3b%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2218165165%22%7D" expand=1]

Even if you're upset, it's hard for people to tell if you're actually upset or just being sarcastic.

9. You've been in awkward situations where your sarcasm didn't translate over text messages.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F04%2F636138920024833646-317833879_awkward.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=126&h=dd54c573831f8f32f89f2f6564618a6749353f709a14b4d0e29dac0ca9ab7655&size=980x&c=2351012479 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F04%252F636138920024833646-317833879_awkward.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D126%26h%3Ddd54c573831f8f32f89f2f6564618a6749353f709a14b4d0e29dac0ca9ab7655%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2351012479%22%7D" expand=1]

Texting is not always your friend.

10. You're not always good at coping with emotional situations.

If you can't use sarcasm, situations sometimes get uncomfortable

11. You've accidentally insulted people who take sarcasm way too seriously.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F04%2F636138924586591031565449993_sadness.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=107&h=1c8e5e07cd7bc5d9f8e0abc0db91e13a1c5d1ede1936095001f9d2a1c9a7cee3&size=980x&c=2931732242 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F04%252F636138924586591031565449993_sadness.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D107%26h%3D1c8e5e07cd7bc5d9f8e0abc0db91e13a1c5d1ede1936095001f9d2a1c9a7cee3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2931732242%22%7D" expand=1]

And then you have to apologize and try to avoid being sarcastic for a couple days so they know you're trying.

12. You use sarcasm to avoid talking about your emotions.

But it's fine! Everything's fine...

13. At the end of the day, you still add some humor to other people's lives.

Those who consider sarcasm to be the "lowest form of wit" are obviously just not very sarcastic.
